There is definitely no shortage of strong female characters in Game of Thrones. Leading the pack would be Daenerys Targaryan but not far behind is Arya Stark, the youngest daughter of the unfortunate Stark clan.

(*SPOILER ALERT*) At a very young age, she was separated from her family and was left to fend for her own. She was forced on a journey that entailed an impossible amount of courage and strength, yet she is still one of the few characters who have survived until the fifth season. But even when she was still with her family, she didn't let the stereotypical notion of womanhood get in her way.

At the time when being a lady meant sewing, wearing pretty dresses, and supporting the men in their lives, she made it clear that a woman wasn't and shouldn’t be defined by all of those things. She showed everyone, even at such a young age, that being a lady means being independent, tough, and smart as well. She wasn't scared to play with boys, get dirty, and defend herself and her family when necessary. She even learned how to fight with her trusty sword, which was a smart decision if I say so myself. Despite the tough and determined attitude, Arya’s character is still able to convey compassion. It's clear in every episode that even though she will do anything to survive, she still knows what's right from wrong.

But the actress behind Arya is equally as strong and determined. Maisie Williams, believe it or not, is only 17. In 2011, she got her first acting job as the orphaned Stark and just like her spunky character, Maisie had to grow up quickly too. Thanks to the hit show she’s starring in, she had to “be an adult” at age 12 which could be why she’s so mature, grounded, and wise for her age. She wouldn’t call herself famous per se but she’s aware of the influence she has which is why she uses it for good by spreading awareness about certain issues. She’s a self-proclaimed feminist and even criticized Emma Watson’s He for She speech for highlighting “first world feminism.” Some may say that what she did was completely the opposite of feminism but she did make a point. But gender equality isn’t the only topic she’s shed some light on. She also fights against breast cancer and cyber bullies. In fact, she’s going to be starring in a new show that talks about cyber bullying after experiencing it herself a few years back. Despite being a busy actress with big responsibilities on her shoulders, she doesn’t forget to be a fun teenager. She still loves going to parties, shopping, and making entertaining Vines. I think we also have to give her props for being confident and brave when it comes to her fashion choices considering people love to criticize anything young celebrities do nowadays.

You might be thinking, “there are so many other feminists who are more active than Maisie so why should we look up to her?” It’s true that are other feminists who’ve contributed or done more but Maisie’s doing something that everyone should do as well. She’s starting the change from herself. She might not be out there making speeches about gender equality but she promotes it in her everyday life. She doesn’t keep quiet about the issues that surround us today by standing her ground and sharing smart opinions on subjects that matter. Although there are many other inspiring female role models, the smart and passionate Maisie should still be considered an inspiration.

This month's theme may be about flora and fauna, but we just have to talk about a different kind of wild: the uncontrollable, crazy, and fierce kind of wild. And the first notorious young lady that comes to mind is definitely Taylor Momsen. Ever since she transformed into her current rebellious state, the 20 year old singer-songwriter, model, and former actress has had a habit of being on the bad side of the news. So what happened to the sweet Cindy Lou Who that everyone adored in Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas?

At the very young age of two, she started her modeling career at Ford Models against her will. She admitted that because of this, she was constantly absent from school and that she didn't have any friends. Along with modeling, she continued to work as a child actress, appearing in Spy Kids 2 and Hansel & Gretel. (Fun fact: she actually auditioned for Hannah Montana and was even a part of the top three choices!) And we can't forget her breakthrough role as Jenny Humphrey in the hit TV show Gossip Girl. It was at this time that the public took notice of her and that meant that everything about her was under the spotlight. It was also at this time that Taylor went through a bit of a rough patch in her life. No, she didn't have a meltdown in the middle of the set or go to rehab. In fact, it was almost a quiet and private deal.

She announced that she would be taking an indefinite hiatus from acting and that she would be focusing on her music. It all seemed okay until a sudden change in her style and attitude. In less than a year, she changed from preppy to punk; she ditched her couture style and opted for a more rock and roll vibe. That meant very heavy eye make-up, a lot of drinking… and electrical tape on her nipples. And as if her wardrobe change wasn't shocking enough, she posed half naked for Revolver magazine while she was only 17 years old! She also posed in racy outfits for FHM and Maxim soon after that. Bye-bye, innocent lil-J. She recently said that "I do not foresee myself acting anytime in the near future. I am very, very focused on music." But let's look at the glass half full because this just means that more music from The Pretty Reckless is on the way! In fact, their second album Going to Hell came out just last March. So whether you love her or hate her, you'll definitely agree that this week's woman crush wednesday is one hot wild child. xx Victoria Urrutiaclick photos for sources

Original by its very definition means "not dependent on other people's ideas; inventive and unusual, innovative, creative and refreshing" Merriam Webster Dictionary. Moreover, it perfectly describes Charlavail and everything that she does. Charlavail Effron, or Vail, is a 24 year old artist from Florida with a passion for art, food, and animals. This painter, entrepreneur, baker, photographer, fashonista, theme park enthusiast (and the list goes on and on) has made a name for herself thanks to her intricate and original works of art. From sugar skulls to deer patches to detailed paper crafts, you will never get bored nor will you feel like you've seen her work before. Not only does she use her creativity using paint but she also likes to delve in mediums such as wood, plastic flowers, and fabric. Oh, and did I mention that she's into baking too?!

This hardworking and detail oriented lady has made quite a successful business at a very young age. She started out with designing animated characters for t-shirts (which she called Chree) and over the top cakes that could almost be featured on a Food Network show. But her hand made Sugar Skulls are what brought her in the spotlight of internet popularity. The said product gained her a fan base, a growing online business, and a name for herself in the online art community. With each pin personally molded, baked, and painted, it's no wonder that the sweet and spunky venture was a success. But she didn't stop there.

She eventually made more of the Sugar Skulls and added other adorable products such as iPhone cases, poster prints, and personalized post cards to her online store. And in 2013, she collaborated with the popular shoe brand, Vans, to create a special contest. They ended up with the "Classic & Charlavail" collaboration where the lucky contest winners won shirts, patches, and one of a kind shoes all created by the talented Vail. Currently, her online store is selling aprons and beanies. Both of which are very special due to the fact that the former was hand sewn by her and her best friend, Sam (imagine sewing ruffles for months!!!) and the latter spreads a positive message.

Her eccentric and ever changing style is also a reason why people can't seem to get enough of her. She's dyed her hair so many times that we're not so sure on which color she hasn't done yet. Her outfit choices are also something to talk about because she doesn't just rely on trends making her another mannequin; she makes her own (like that time she bought a skull sweater from the boys section of the mall; too cute!) Something that I personally admire about her is that she embraces everything about herself; whether it's her unique ideas, her hour glass figure, or wacky antics. Despite what people may think or say, she doesn't care and she presses on with what she believes in. That, along with her confidence, positive outlook on life, and hard work are some characteristics that make her an inspiration.

Some may remember her for her being "the girl with the weird hair" or "the girl who likes drawing skulls and deers", but to Reinvent, she's the girl who proved that originality isn't really dead.

Despite all the blogs, fashion websites, and social networking sites available, the internet can still get kind of boring. With the same OOTD's being posted and the same music being talked about, I was bummed out. Sure, there are blogs that I check daily and favorite artists that I stalk, but I needed something new. I was looking for originality and creativity; something to inspire and motivate me to maybe try art again, and something to spark excitement and passion. Anything or anyone that oozed artistry. And I got exactly what I wanted when I stumbled across Keira Crowther's illustrations. I was (and still am) obsessed with the fact that they verge on the concept of ugly pretty rather than the typical perfect pretty and if that won't get you hooked too, then the artist behind it all certainly will.

Sophisticated, talented, and ingenious. Just some words that come to mind when asked to describe Keira. This 22 year old Atlanta native not only has the ability to draw Tim Burton-esqe works of art but she can also spot a good shoe from twenty miles away. Whether they're not-so-simple doodles or full pledge paintings for school, Keira views every piece of work as a "a way to explore what goes on within the dark corners of my mind" and it definitely shows. Her compositions will bring you to her blog but her glamorous yet simple style and cute selfies will keep you coming back for more. With eyes as intriguing as her art and illustrations that are painstakingly beautiful, this young artist is without a doubt worthy to be called November's Girl of the Month.

Your works are very unique compared to a lot of other artists, what inspired you to have that kind of style?Keira: Thank you! One of my biggest inspirations is definitely Tim Burton. When I was four years old, my parents bought me Nightmare Before Christmas on VHS and I guess that's what really sparked my interests. According to my parents, I watched that movie twice a day, every day for about a year. That's insane! I think the way Burton portrayed his characters in a really dark and peculiar fashion was very alluring to me. It was so different from anything else I had seen before, especially in cartoons and movies. I really resonated with his style so subconsciously, it stuck with me throughout the years. Other inspirations were the artwork by Dr. Seuss, Quentin Blake (his illustrations were in Roald Dahl books, which were my favorite growing up), and my most recent inspiration, Egon Schiele, an Austrian painter from the early 1900s.

How do you describe yourself as an artist?K: For me, every piece of artwork I've done is a way to explore what goes on within the dark corners of my mind. I like to look at my work as documentation of how my brain works, how I see things around me, and how I interpret reality. Reality, after all, is the infrastructure of my imagination and inspiration. I draw for the same reason people keep journals and diaries: to record what you're feeling, to stay sane, and to observe your own state-of-mind.

What influenced you to incorporate fashion into art?K: That started when I was sixteen years old. I spent my entire summer in Ireland, and stayed in the countryside with my Grandma for three straight months. I worked a lot on my drawing style that summer, mostly because I didn't have anything else to do! I would draw editorials from Fashion magazines I picked up from the local store and spent hours in my Grandma's kitchen recreating these designer garments in my own way. It was an eye-opener for me, because I realized this was something I really wanted to do professionally, and that I wanted a creative career. Inevitably, this lead me to applying to Savannah College of Art and Design. I was accepted in 2010, and now I graduate this upcoming Spring!

What's one art material you cannot live without?K: Easy! A ballpoint pen. I love that a ballpoint pen can create such depth and shading by how lightly or hard you press down on paper. I never leave a house without one. It's great to have on hand when I'm traveling and I can't bring my art supplies with me. A Moleskine sketchbook and blue ballpoint pen is all I need!

What's the best advice you've ever received?K: "Don't try and solve everything at once. Divide and Conquer." My dad always tells me this when I get overwhelmed by...well, life! It's important to remember that issues or problems buzzing around in your head competing for attention will get you no where. It's debilitating. "I believe every human being has genius level talent." I know this isn't really advice, but it's a quote from Jay Z's documentary Made In America. I am obsessed with the way Jay Z's mind works, and I found this quote to be inspiring. It's something to keep your spirits up when you're feeling down about yourself.

Do you think you'd still be the same if you never found your passion for art?K: I have no idea! I can't imagine what my life would be like without the ability of expressing myself through art. I probably would have taken the psychology route, since I love learning about how the brain operates and cognitive science. Maybe I'd be a neuropsychologist? That would be so cool!

What's the most interesting thing about fashion for you?K: Fashion is just another way to express yourself through a medium besides words. It is a form of self-expression and communication. You are essentially conveying to others who you are and what is important to you, whether you realize it or not. That's the beauty of it!

Who's your favorite designer? Why?K: Ann Demeulemeester is my favorite designer right now. She's a Belgium designer who creates garments with very intricate detailing and keeps the color palette of her collections very monochromatic. There's a very punky femininity vibe to her designs and I love it! Definitely check out her collections if you haven't seen her work before!

Quick fire questions!

2. What's your guilty pleasure song?Treasure - Bruno Mars. I listen to it twice a day. It's kinda ridiculous! 3. What's your favorite place in the world?London, England! I want to live there!

4. Keira Knightley or Keirnan Shipka?I have to pick Keira Knightley out of respect for sharing the same name as me.

5. Do you like potatoes? If yes, how do you like them served?Mashed potatoes and gravy. That's the only way I know how to have potatoes, thanks to my very, very, very, traditional Irish family.

They can be such a hassle and a nuisance in our daily lives. Personally, I don't have cramps every month but when I do experience them, they're a 13 on a 1 to 10 rating scale. This one time, the ache was just too much for me so I took painkillers and long story short: I ended up in the emergency room for 6 hours because my eyes were so swollen that I couldn't even see! (Apparently, I'm allergic to Ibuprofen.) Not only was the vaccine painful, but I had to skip school the next day because my eyes were still puffy! I know, worst disaster ever. I can never take pain medication to help my menstrual cramps again...so what am I supposed to do if next month, that pain in my lower abdomen comes back? I resorted to asking something, or shall I say someone, better than Google: my mom. She told me a bunch of tricks and made me try each one until I found which one was best for me.

So whether you're allergic to pain medication or you just want to take the homeopathic route, here are some simple solutions on how to get rid of that horrible feeling down there: (take note that these tips are just based from mere experience; they won't work every time and they won't work for everyone so try to find which one works for your situation.)

1. Get physical: go for a walk I know what you're thinking: "Noooo, physical activity?! Can't I just lie down forever until it ends?" You can if that's more effective for you, but this works too. That's because standing up and moving around can actually help your blood flow and the muscles in your lower abdomen area relax. It's like the alternate version of flexing your muscles when you get a leg cramp!

2. Drink up: water and tea Drink tea; not iced tea, but herbal tea. Not only is this ideal for menstrual cramps, but they also help with PMS. If you're not into the regular Chamomile tea, how about something flavorful like Mixed Berries or Lemon and Ginger? Drink lots of water. You should already be doing this but when you get cramps, drink more than you usually do and try it with some lemon juice! The lemon can actually decrease bloating (a reason why you're having cramps in the first place). Don't drink coffee or soda. I know, this one sucks but these drinks can actually cause more pain. This is because unlike lemon, they can actually increase bloating. 3. Chill out, bro: take a break I don't know about you but when I feel really tired or sore, I love a really hot shower, especially when it's my time of the month. Try to take a warm shower; stand there for a while and let the warm water wash away the pain. You can even listen to your power playlist! When none of these supposedly effective tricks help, just lay face down on your bed and relax. That helps too.
